Conason: Of serious contenders, only Clark "admitted' being a liberal
Posted yesterday on the Clark04 blog by Laurie

Went to a wonderful event last night (Joe Conason, David Corn, Bill Hartung, Eric Alterman and Mark Green all spoke). Conason made a point to say that of all the people in the race (Sharpton and Kucinich excepted... he meant "serious contenders"), only one man had the guts to admit to being a liberal, instead of backing off. Naturally a whole bunch of us in the crowd went nuts applauding (including a few Clark delegates). I had to apologize to him afterwards for disrupting his speech. But it came as naturally to us as breathing!!!! He laughed and said he expected nothing less from such diehards. :-)

1. Oh I love hearing that
Conason gets quite a bit of attention. This is great stuff. And Clark is getting a little respect finally.

7. Without seeing the pic, I know it's not a dem candidate, because
none of them are(were) to Clark's left. Not DK, not Sharpton, NObody.

My man.

:)

5. That's terrific
But there are still some crazies here calling Clark a Republican.

I think most people realize the truth now.

6. This is why it was so easy to support him.
His honesty and integrity drew me to him when he did his CNN job. I know just what Michael Moore meant about hearing these thoughts from a General being so astounding.

12. Or as George McGovern said...
"There are a lot of good Democrats in this race, but Wes Clark is the BEST Democrat."

16. Remember this
Wes Debt Relief
$10,102.74
127 donors
Status Date
3/11/2004 11:08 AM

1-Donate here:

https://secure.clark04.com/

2-Log the amount here:

http://www.wesclarkdemocrats.com/index.asp

If you are maxed out on Wes and cannot help with the Wes Debt, please
explore our listings to donate to important congressional races and
John Kerry - and don't miss Clark Champions, those pols who were
there for Wes when he needed them. We like to say thanks with our
wallets if we can. All candidates who receive donations from Clark
supporters through wesclarkdemocrats.com will receive a printed
report of donations, earning credit for Wes Clark and raising his
profile within the Democratic Party.

This, too, is important.

If you have already donated to any candidates (other than Wes) shown on the site and have not entered the amounts of the contributions, please do so.

Now, if you're not maxed out, you know what you have to do: Wes Debt, Wes Debt, and Wes Debt.

Any previous donation to the Wes Debt, post-2/11, can still be entered.

Thanks again for your help.
